The role expects 10+ years of MOT/traffic control design experience and at least 3 years in DOT design-build or progressive design-build settings. A PE license is preferred (particularly in UT, NV, AZ, ID, CO, NM, or WA), and proficiency with Microstation, OpenRoads, and Civil 3D is essential. You'll need to be comfortable traveling regionally and balancing detailed design work with the interpersonal skills required to lead teams and manage client relationships effectively.
